Strides for UNICEF - Buffalo Grove

Strides for UNICEF is a community athletic event held in Willow Stream Park, located at 651 Old Checker Rd in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. The event is centered around a 5 km Fun Run designed to support global efforts in protecting children's rights. All net proceeds from the registration fees and fundraising are directed toward UNICEF to assist in providing aid to overlooked communities and responding to humanitarian crises.

The run follows a format that allows for different paces, accommodating participants who prefer to run or walk. Participation is open to individuals starting from age 5. It is important to note that this specific race is not professionally timed, focusing instead on community engagement and charitable support rather than competitive ranking.

The event site features more than just the running path. Attendees can access a community festival that includes various food options, sponsor booths, and interactive games. The schedule includes dedicated time for check-in and t-shirt pickup followed by post-race celebrations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
